Interleukin-1 (IL-1), a cytokine produced by macrophages, causes an increase in Na+ excretion in experimental animals. Micropuncture studies have determined that the natriuretic effect of IL-1 is largely due to inhibition of Na+ reabsorption in the collecting duct. The current studies made use of suspensions of rabbit inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) cells to examine the mechanism by which IL-1 regulates Na+ transport. IL-1 reduced ouabain-sensitive 86Rb+ uptake by 48% at 10 s, 36% at 30 s, and 29% at 60 s, suggesting an inhibitory effect on Na(+)-K(+)-adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase) activity. IL-1 inhibition of 86Rb+ uptake occurred in a dose-dependent manner. This effect appears to be mediated by prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) because 1) ibuprofen blocks the inhibitory effect of IL-1 on IMCD Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity, 2) IL-1 and PGE2 cause equivalent and nonadditive inhibition of 86Rb+ uptake, 3) IL-1 causes a two- to threefold increase in PGE2 content in IMCD cells, and 4) dose-response curves were similar for IL-1 stimulation of PGE2 content and inhibition of 86Rb+ uptake in IMCD cells. Thus the natriuretic effect of IL-1 is due, at least in part, to stimulation of PGE2 production by collecting duct cells with resultant inhibition of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity.
